Episode Summary

Shawn and Gus take on academia as lecturers at a school for the gifted where two students suspect a teacher of murder – they just don't know who's been murdered or the murderer's identity. At the precinct, Juliet lobbies hard for lead position on the next case, and Lassiter hands her a "gimme". The same case Gus and Shawn are working.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Really funny.

I have said it before, I think that every epiosde of Psych is funny, even ones that have serious endings have a very comical feeling to them. I not only liked the Shawn and Gus part of it but I really liked the Juliet and Lassiter part. In this epiosde Shawn and Gus are hired by two super smart teenagers who think one of their teachers killed someone, and will kill again. Meanwhile, it is Lassiter's and Juliet's one year anniversary (One year as partners) and she demands to be the lead detective on a case. She gets the same one as Shawn and Gus. Lassiter tries to teach her how to be mean, and tough when she it talking to someone, but Juliet can't really do it. All in all it is a very good episode, full of lots of laughs, and all of that good stuff. It is a must see episode, I think.moreless

teacher time ... spoilers

Seeing Juliet as the lead detective on a case because she'd been there for a year and was off probabtion didn't seem to be as funny as when Lassiter does it. There didn't seem to be as much of the Shawn and Gus interacting with the cops moments. I thought it was funny at the beginning when Shawn was playing Henry at chess and called the knight "Dwight". I bet Henry thought he was going to win because Shawn didn't know what the pieces were called ... yeah right. A funny and great episode but I just didn't get that 10 out of 10 vibe.moreless

It's the one year anniversary of Lassiter and O'Hara's great detective partnership, and she gets to be the lead on a case that Shawn and Gus were hired on as well. They go to a school for gifted kids where a murder may take place.moreless

I was one of the few who didn't particularly care for the previous episode, and I was relieved to find that Psych redeemed itself with this episode. And then there's fact that I was suprised by Shane Meier's appearance. It was nice to see him on TV again. I liked the wit shown in the episode, and the cleverness by the main characters- all classic Psych. My favorite part of the episode- Shawn and Henry playing chess. I hope all the remaining episodes are up to this standard, b/c Psych is one of the few consistent shows on TV that delivers quality each week.moreless

Anniversary!

This episode is one of the better ones I've seen this season. Gus and Shaun go "undercover" as psychic teachers at a gifted school. One of my favorite lines in this episode is when Gus and Shaun see Lassiter and O'Hara in the school's office and Shaun says "We heard something happened to you (Lassie). Jules didn't you get our flowers?" and Lassiter replies "that was the police dog Lassie". Classic.Anyway the main storyline is Shaun and Gus investigate the school after two (somewhat cocky) students claim that a teacher will kill again; unfortunately that same teacher turns up dead a few days later. The other minor storyline is it's O'Hara and Lassiter's first anniversary since O'Hara transfered to SBPD. cute!moreless

Nitpick: When one of Shawn's students tries to prove Shawn isn't a psychic at all he writes 6.0221415×10^23 atoms/mol at the black board and asks what that is based on his thoughts. However, different shots of the blackboard show 6.0021415x10^23 atoms/mol and 6.0221415x10^23 atoms/mol.
